People are given information about the services offered at the home to help them make an informed choice about whether they would like to live at Upland Road and whether the home will meet their needs. EVIDENCE: The Statement of Purpose and Service User Guide provides information about the home to help people decide if they wish to live at Upland Road. The Statement of Purpose has recently been updated to reflect the change of provider to Dimensions, manager and changes within the staff team. Copies of the information are available to all, including visitors to the home. Surveys from families confirmed that information about the home is shared, and that they are kept up to date with important issues. There is evidence that full assessments were completed for everyone who uses the service prior to their moving into Upland Road. The home has an admissions policy and procedure in place and the home will make sure they are followed for future admissions to the home. The assessment process is very detailed and care records show that the home
Upland Road, 2 DS0000066842.V329562.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 9 receives full information about people, their background, their needs, their likes and dislikes when they are referred for a placement.

Service users are supported to take risks as part of an independent lifestyle. Service users know that information about them is handled appropriately, and that their confidences are kept. The Commission considers Standards 6, 7 and 9 the key standards to be inspected. JUDGEMENT – we looked at outcomes for the following standard(s): 6, 7, 9 Quality in this outcome area is excellent This judgement has been made using available evidence including a visit to this service. Care plans provide staff with detailed information about individual’s assessed needs. They include risk assessments to show how risks are to be reduced and how to promote independence.

The plans show how goals are monitored, how they are arranged and how they can be achieved. Staff have information to make sure that all care is provided in a preferred and consistent way that encourages independence. Pictures and photographs are used to assist with understanding and communication in care plans. People’s likes and dislikes are included.

Upland Road, 2 DS0000066842.V329562.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 11 A person centred care plan (PCP) approach is being developed and this format shows how people who use the service will be appropriately involved in planning and reviewing their own care. People will be supported to express their wishes and goals. A Path map has been completed for the home and the service that is being provided. The Path map process has given staff knowledge and experience to support people who use the service in completing their PCP’s. Staff said they found this experience very beneficial. The training and completion of the home Path has given them an opportunity to explore, share ideas and take responsibility for specific areas of work. Files for three people who use the service were examined. Case tracking provides a view of how the home responds to the diversity of needs and how this is being managed and supported. This is particularly evident where health needs and disability requires greater input and support from all staff within the home. Relevant information and monitoring is provided in individual files to make sure all staff have the necessary information to provide quality care. Each person is allocated a key worker to oversee his or her care. Each key worker builds a closer relationship so they gain more understanding and knowledge of individual needs, goals and wishes. Plans are reviewed regularly or as any changes in need occur. There is evidence of the key worker support and encouragement to make sure that people who use the service are fully involved in the reviews of their care plans. Staff said they are fully aware of the plans and use them to guide their practice. A completed PCP for one person was seen. This has been completed using the Dimensions format and is informative, accessible and easy to understand. Work to complete other PCP’s is ongoing. The home completes risk assessments to promote safety and independence for people who use the service. Two people who use the service are registered blind, and risk assessments are completed to make sure their mobility is maintained and that they have access to facilities. Individual risk assessments include mobility and handling, bathing, and storage of toiletries. Plans provide information about the methods of communication that people who use the service understand. These plans make sure all staff are aware to promote consistency. Examples of the different methods used include Braille, audiotapes, and objects of reference. Staff were observed supporting people in household tasks. Family surveys confirmed that care given is what they expected or agreed with the home.

One person talked about living at Upland Road saying they liked living in the home and that staff look after them. Records of all physical checks are completed where people have particular health related issues such as weight and fluid intake.
